  • Exhibition “Moomin Animations – Thrills and Cuddles” Coming to National Children’S Museum in D.C
    Exhibition “Moomin Animations – Thrills and Cuddles” coming to National Children’s Museum in D.C. August 13, 2021 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Moomins, the beloved fairytale creatures living in Moominvalley and created by Finnish author Tove Jansson, are the subject of a visiting exhibition at National Children’s Museum as of September. The upcoming exhibition, on loan from the world’s only Moomin Museum located in Tampere, Finland, showcases the universal values of the Moomins, such as equality, inclusion and respect for nature. The exhibition, Moomin Animations – Thrills and Cuddles, which is brought to the United States by the Embassy of Finland in Washington D.C., will open at National Children’s Museum on September 3, 2021, and will be on display inside the Visiting Exhibit Hall until January 9, 2022. This is the first time this exhibition travels abroad. It highlights the rich history of Moomin animations, which are based on the Moomin books and comic strips created by the renowned Finnish artist and author Tove Jansson (1914–2001). The Moomins are white and roundish fantastical characters with large snouts. The Moomin family and their friends live an adventurous life in the idyllic and peaceful Moominvalley. “The Moomins always treat nature with respect and live in harmony with the environment. The Moomin values, such as compassion and open-mindedness, are current, independent of time and place, and more relevant than perhaps ever before. As we follow the stories of Moomintroll’s growth and encounters, we can learn more about our own humanity, relationships and emotions,” explains Roleff Kråkström, Managing Director of Moomin Characters.

  • Stories of a Place in Time Moomin Museum in Tampere, Finland
    153 Stories of a Place in Time Moomin Museum in Tampere, Finland Diana Rimniceanu In the 2017 spring term, the professional design studio of Public Building at Tampere University of Technology in Finland set a design task for a build- ing that not only occupies and strengthens an urban place in Tampere but also presents imagined spaces: a museum for the stories, characters and places of the Moomin graphic novels by Finnish illustrator Tove Jansson. These graphic novels form the cultural and literary heart of many Finnish childhoods. For the design of such a cultural building, questions of place, landscape, the experience of spatial and material qualities are crucial. The beauty arises from the unexpected. And suddenly it was silence. The factory’s interior courtyard has its own sound of silence. Beyond the brick walls the fuss of the city life does not enter, nor the sound of the rapids, nor the wind. It is a place out of time, out of space; it gives me shelter. The project by Diana Rimniceanu begins with a museum in search of a place of its own in the city of Tampere. But it is no ordinary building . and 154 thus . no ordinary place. The intervention aspires to provide the frame- work for the imagined spaces created by Jansson. And the place? Old bare brick factory walls and a river, right in the heart of Tampere; each with its own story, building a strong and lively identity. The museum extension aspires to express the Moomin stories through an architecture that is specific and autonomous, capable of preserving the richness and uniqueness of the place while revealing the unexpected land- scapes that it hides; an architecture that grows gradually, scene by scene, creating encounters between the Moomin creatures, the historic industrial buildings and the new visitors.

Made in the United States of America ©C!,A446580 TO MY FRIEND ELLA MAY ADAMS PREFACE As every one knows, the mother land of the American nation is England. But what is the grandmother land? A short glance at England's past will show that it is Scandinavia. Though the English people are exceedingly composite, there exists in them a very important Scandinavian strain. The Northern blood was contributed primarily by two great immigrations directly from Scandinavia, and one from Normandy, by people only a century and a half removed from Scandinavia ; but it should be borne in mind also that the somewhat mysterious Jutes, Angles, and Saxons, whose continental home was in the peninsula of Jutland and about its base, must have borne a very close relationship to their contemporaries and neighbors to the north. With the introduction of Scandinavian blood came Scandinavian manners and customs which made an impress upon the English population only recently recognized. Of the various parts of Europe which contributed elements to the English people during their forma- tive period, Scandinavia is the only one whose popu- lation has remained relatively pure and in the orig- inal home, unjostled and unmixed by foreign inva- sions.

    rnmPERE TAMPERE GUIDE PUBLISHED BY THE MUNICIPAL BOARD OF TRAVEL TAMPERE A HISTORICAL SUMMARY HPhe vicinity of the city is of very old origin. The scientists consider its age in millions of years and the most parts of Finland are geologically the oldest in Europe. A little to the north of Tampere, in Aitolahti, the oldest rock in the world has been found. The history of Kinlands shows that a steadily resident Finnish popula- tion lived about Tampere already in the 6th century. On the Pyynikki ridge and along the shores of Pyhäjärvi-lake there have been pagan sacri- fices and not far from the city the remains of an old fortress have been found. Around the waterfalls of Tampere in very early times the traders of the interior already came to barter. This Was due to the excellent Water- ways, and in due time, although very late, the city was founded. This happened in 1779, during the reign of king Gustaphus 111 of Sweden. The first map shows 56 lots, but they had to be divided between 80 applicants and these formed the first population of the city-to-be. A map on the last page indicates how the city has grown since. The founder of the City, kintf Oustaphus 111 The waterfall was) from the of Sweden. very beginning the nucleus of Tampere. Several manufacturers tried to exploit its power, but only in 1783 the first real factory, a paper mill was founded. Its premises are now owned by the city. The biggest factory was foun- ded in 1820 by Finlayson, a Scotchman and it still bears his name.
